Problem I can't resolve

I have a Linksys Wireless router with 2 computers on the network. There names are Computer 1 and Computer 2. I have a shared directory on Computer 1 and can map the drive and access it. Both computers are on workgroup HOME. Computer 2 has a shared directory and can be accessed and mapped.

However, Computer 1 will see Computer 2 but cant browse on it, Computer 2 doesnt see Computer 1 at all. I cant get this to work for any reason. Both are connected to the internet via 3mb Cable w/ Linksys Wireless Router.

Both machines have WinXP SP2 with AVG, ZA and SpySweeper. Have tried disabling firewall & AV but still nothing.

Is there any suggestions for this so I can get these drives mapped and accessible?

 

Basic, but is file and printer sharing enabled?

 

Yes, I am able to print from computer to computer just cant access files. Im stumped, I do this at my office and never had a problem.

 

This has me stumped, I have my printer shared along with one folder on Computer 1. I can see and access this on Computer 2. However for no reason can I see the shared folder. My permissions are set correctly, I'm on the same workgroup, I can share printers and access them but cannot access the folders.

I'm sure its something simple but any suggestions?

 

Give us your firewall settings - Folder permissions - router settings - anything

 

Permissions for the shared directories are set to Full Control for Everyone. Ive had this problem before I installed the firewall. As far as the router, I havnt changed anything in there, everything is default.

 

Have you tried connecting the pc's directly? I still think this is a permission problem ... SP2 installed?

 

Because the router directly connects to the internet - it maybe (due to noi changes made to the default config) assigns the settings fpr ppp connection to the internal conenctions to - give it a ruleset for connections in lan ...

 

No I havnt, they are too far apart. Yes, SP2 is on both machines, personally I think the same thing.

I just cant seem to figure out where to set it at.

 

sorry for typing mistakes - had a really really long night today .. pu

 

1. open a browser window and interface the router via http ->
http://routerip

maybe(hopefully) it will prompt you for a login - if you made no changes the login should be admin, and the password that was delivered with the router

Now tello me what shows up .. unfortunately I don't know the linksys UI quite well

 

Yes, ZA automatically shuts it off.

 

so far so good

 

the rules should be somewhere under advanced tab ..

 

Before you change the router settings you should try to connect to the $ permissions eg.: \\Computer1\c$ - if this works, there's no need to edit router settings

 

It only works for computer 1, for example. I can type \\Computer1\Music and it open its up and will map it. But when I try this on Computer 2 it says "Network path not found".

I can map the shared drive on the individual computer, but they cant map each other.

 

This issue is resolved, Im not sure what did it. The same settings have been the same for weeks, nothing has changed. Booted up today and there was my network locations. Very weird!
